Key things to note are:
1. The so-called source directory a.k.a. the "root" directory was /home/<localuser>/ubcd-extract (and WITHOUT a "C:\" as in MS-Windows)
2. The entire ubcd-extract directory was chown'ed to the localuser rather than to the superuser, and after assembling the UBCD source tree with customizations, no Write permission was granted, i.e., all individual files were chmod'ed to 0555 a.k.a. r-xr-xr-x
3. As written in the syslinux-3.71 archive doc/isolinux.txt file and at http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/ISOLINUX, there does NOT need to be a pre-existing isolinux/boot.cat as this is generated by the above mkisofs command sequence.
OTOH, there certainly DOES need to be a pre-existing and correct isolinux/isolinux.bin as this is NOT generated [correctly] by the above CLI command sequence.

Any corrections, suggestions, or ways to optimize the UBCD mastering process are certainly welcome!
accrc j.h., are you reading this??

Current goal is to find the easiest way(s) to create, in Linux, floppy disk images and their gzip'ped .igz counterparts for UBCD remastering.

You have to make this script executable (chmod a+x mkisofs-ubcd.sh) and edit the root_of_iso_tree, the isoimagefilename and VOLUME_ID parameter. Afterwards you can just double click on it, without opening a terminal and cd-ing to the right directory.

If you remaster UBCD, I recommend that you update isolinux / syslinux also. Don't use the syslinux package which is included in your distro, it is probably very outdated.

Update also the freedos image (there should be soon an update that correct the errors in the last version, so wait a little bit more).
@ as702: Which is the best version of your freedos image for UBCD411? I suspect that you don't need the last version for it (can be wrong).
